Cute gay romance novels

The world of gay romance novels is, if not quite as vast as the world of m/f romance, still quite expansive. Are you looking for a royal-commoner romance? A fake marriage? Something dark and gritty, or something that&#;s the literary matched of a basket of puppies? Whatever it is that floats your romance boat, I guarantee there&#;s an m/m romance out there that will satisfy. In making this list, I&#;ve highlighted as many #ownvoices authors as possible. There&#;s a misconception that the only people who document m/m romance are straight women, and while it&#;s true that some of the biggest names in gay romance are direct women, there are also dozens of queer men writing fantastic gay romance. But because of the biases and shortcomings of publishing (and a slew of other complicated factors), it&#;s direct women who often get the most recognition in the genre. This is not to declare that straight women can&#;t, or shouldn&#;t, write gay romance novels. You&#;ll find several (including some of my absolute favorites!) on this list. You&#;ll also locate many wonderful books by homosexual men

Many links are Amazon or Bookshop affiliate. A small percentage of each purchased using this link earns money for the site, so please use these if you&#;re so inclined!

Please note that as is common with Romance, many of these books are in a series with recurring characters. All should be readable as standalones, however, unless noted otherwise.

Additionally, please be advised that this is more of a database than a rec list; I have not read most of these titles, and strongly advocate reading reviews for potential triggers etc.

    I didn&#;t realize until the film came out just how many queer women in my social circle and workplace had examine and adored Red, Alabaster and Royal Blue. But perhaps I shouldn&#;t have been so surprised, considering women have historically been the primary readers of M/M romantic fiction, even if the general assumption around that fact is that it&#;s straight women. But I suspect I&#;m not the only lesbian out there who enjoys a light, unchallenging little romp into gay romance. Whether you&#;re looking for sizzling sex scenes, tender coming-of-age tales, historical romance or kitchen-centric love, we&#;ve got you covered. Share your favorites in the comments!
